Blood Orange: Essex Honey 2x12"
Essex Honey is the deeply personal new album from Dev Hynes, exploring themes of family grief, English identity, and the healing, communal power of music. Written in the hazy aftermath of loss, the album unfolds like a diaryâintimate yet universally resonant.
Musically, Essex Honey draws from the analog warmth of earlier Blood Orange projects, layered with recurring cello motifs, punk-distorted acoustic guitars, and melodic textures inspired by Hynesâ youth in Essex. The result is a dreamlike sonic landscape where memory and emotion blur.
Featuring an impressive range of collaboratorsâThe Durutti Column, Mustafa, Caroline Polachek, Daniel Caesar, Lorde, Zadie Smith, Tirzah, Brendan Yates (Turnstile), and Mabe FrattiâEssex Honey is both expansive and introspective.
Self-produced and mixed by Dev Hynes with Mikaelin âBlueâ Bluespruce, and mastered by Heba Kadry.
